The Russian comic and his wife, Linda, were expecting at the time and cited location as the main reason they bought the Palisades house, which was on the 18th hole of the Riviera Country Club. It was 20 years ago when former Dodgers outfielder Shawn Green unloaded a base on the Westside, selling a Pacific Palisades home he had built for $3.9 million. The slugger sold the property after buying another place in Newport Beach that year for around $1.8 million.
